Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
It is often said that ‘writing is rewriting’ and those who say the sentences ‘came fully-formed’ are either mistaken or pretending. Hemingway’s original phrase was – aptly – slightly different: ‘The only kind of writing is rewriting’.
In this talk, Sadie Jones explores different aspects of rewriting, comparing her own process to historic evidence of on-the-page revisions. In doing so, she asks what might and must have changed with the advent of the computer, and questions how great a difference there is between physically striking out a line, and cutting it on-screen. So, the question is not, ‘do you rewrite?’, or even, ‘how many drafts?’, but, more interestingly, ‘in what way do you rewrite?’
